Vauban keeps my Melbourne dream alive - now I've got my eye on another Mullins star at 14-1 for the Cesarewitch
Does Vauban really stay? It's an interesting question in light of his Lonsdale Cup win on Friday, when he scrambled home by a short head having looked like winning easily.
William Buick said he may have got there too soon, and that's probably right. He has a good turn of foot, best deployed late to cope with any fast-finishers, as Al Nayyir was on this occasion.
Connections seem more than happy to go to the Melbourne Cup again and he is now a generally available 10-1 shot to give Willie Mullins a first win in the great race.
